the electronic poem Poem by Ulrike Almut Sandig

ladies and gentlemen, if you please, listen
a whisker to the side and beyond follow

the sound trace of the electronic poem on its path
past the speaker boxes. can you already see

music and sound? can you already hear
the coloured lights? the electronic poem

is a poem within a poem and well
hidden in the wave forms of the future

that one moment later is already
our history. it hovers by the ears of Edgard

Varèse's grandchildren - and past.
